Btrfs: fix fsync race leading to invalid data after log replay

When the fsync callback (btrfs_sync_file) starts, it first waits for
the writeback of any dirty pages to start and finish without holding
the inode's mutex (to reduce contention). After this it acquires the
inode's mutex and repeats that process via btrfs_wait_ordered_range
only if we're doing a full sync (BTRFS_INODE_NEEDS_FULL_SYNC flag
is set on the inode).

This is not safe for a non full sync - we need to start and wait for
writeback to finish for any pages that might have been made dirty
before acquiring the inode's mutex and after that first step mentioned
before. Why this is needed is explained by the following comment added
to btrfs_sync_file:

  "Right before acquiring the inode's mutex, we might have new
   writes dirtying pages, which won't immediately start the
   respective ordered operations - that is done through the
   fill_delalloc callbacks invoked from the writepage and
   writepages address space operations. So make sure we start
   all ordered operations before starting to log our inode. Not
   doing this means that while logging the inode, writeback
   could start and invoke writepage/writepages, which would call
   the fill_delalloc callbacks (cow_file_range,
   submit_compressed_extents). These callbacks add first an
   extent map to the modified list of extents and then create
   the respective ordered operation, which means in
   tree-log.c:btrfs_log_inode() we might capture all existing
   ordered operations (with btrfs_get_logged_extents()) before
   the fill_delalloc callback adds its ordered operation, and by
   the time we visit the modified list of extent maps (with
   btrfs_log_changed_extents()), we see and process the extent
   map they created. We then use the extent map to construct a
   file extent item for logging without waiting for the
   respective ordered operation to finish - this file extent
   item points to a disk location that might not have yet been
   written to, containing random data - so after a crash a log
   replay will make our inode have file extent items that point
   to disk locations containing invalid data, as we returned
   success to userspace without waiting for the respective
   ordered operation to finish, because it wasn't captured by
   btrfs_get_logged_extents()."
